At Buddies Exterminating, we’ve been tackling pest problems in Las Vegas since 1962, and mosquitoes are a common concern for homeowners in our desert climate. Despite the arid environment, mosquitoes thrive in areas with standing water, making them a nuisance in backyards, patios, and near water features. Here’s a look at the mosquitoes you’ll encounter in Las Vegas and how we effectively manage them.
Las Vegas is home to several mosquito species, with the most prevalent being the Culex pipiens (common house mosquito), Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito), and Anopheles species. Culex pipiens is active at dusk and dawn, breeding in stagnant water like birdbaths or neglected pools. Aedes aegypti, a daytime biter, prefers small water containers such as plant saucers or clogged gutters, and is known for transmitting diseases like Zika. Anopheles mosquitoes, though less common, can be found near irrigation ditches or ponds. These species adapt to urban environments, making Las Vegas’s warm climate and occasional water sources ideal for their survival.
At Buddies Exterminating, we take a tailored approach to mosquito control, focusing on eliminating breeding sites and preventing infestations. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify standing water sources—think puddles, fountains, or even bottle caps holding water. We advise homeowners to empty containers, clean gutters, and maintain pools to reduce breeding grounds.
Our treatments target both adult mosquitoes and larvae. We apply environmentally conscious products to high-risk areas like shrubs, shaded patios, and water features, disrupting mosquito life cycles. For larvae, we use larvicides in standing water that can’t be drained, ensuring new mosquitoes don’t emerge. Our pet-friendly solutions are applied by trained technicians, prioritizing your family’s comfort and the effectiveness of the treatment.
We offer flexible plans, from one-time treatments for events to monthly maintenance, with no long-term contracts. Our 30-day guarantee ensures lasting results, and we’ll return at no extra cost if mosquitoes persist. With over 60 years of experience, Buddies Exterminating delivers reliable mosquito control across Las Vegas, Henderson, and Clark County.
Understanding when mosquitoes are most active and how to prevent them is key to enjoying your outdoor spaces. Here’s what you need to know about mosquito season in Las Vegas and our expert prevention strategies.
In Las Vegas’s desert climate, mosquito activity peaks from late spring through early fall, roughly April to October, when temperatures range between 70°F and 95°F. The Culex pipiens, Aedes aegypti, and Anopheles species thrive during these warmer months, especially after rainfall or in areas with standing water. While summer’s heat can reduce activity, mosquitoes remain active in shaded areas or near water sources like pools, fountains, or poorly drained yards. Even in winter, mild days can spur activity, particularly for Aedes aegypti, which breeds in small water containers year-round.
Peak mosquito hours are dawn and dusk, when Culex mosquitoes feed, though Aedes bites during the day. Monsoon season (July to September) can increase breeding sites, making vigilance essential.
At Buddies Exterminating, we focus on proactive prevention and customized treatments to keep mosquitoes out of your Las Vegas property. Here’s how we do it:
